don't buy it. farm 5k tickets is much better and easy.
I just put in a buy offer for 550 g
I heard 5k tickets takes like 12 weeks
Is that true?
Doesn't sound so easy, unless you area already playing a lot of WvW and have those tickets ready to go

I got a set on this sale for the first time since 2012
I doubt I'll ever do the shared inventory switch
That's very inconvenient
WIll just be for my main I think
Better to just buy tools on other toons when needed imo
VIP passes and permanent vendor makes this pretty easy
I agree that they should have been usable on all characters
I feel like it's too late now though
There have to be some guy who have purchased 20 gathering sets by now

Create a jukebox for VIP lounges
Both Mistlock and Thousand seas music gets old really fast
I would like to have some of the nice track from core playing instead etc
Maybe there would be an issue with the passes that are part of a world map already, if that's the case it could just be a unique feature for the instanced VIP lounges

Skyscale isn't the only content though

I generally tend to be pro new player in these situations. I like that things like skyscale and leggy armor have gotten easier over time, I'm fine with the daily ap cap, dislike retiring achievements, etc., but there needs to be a place for rewarding the 'original' players as well. And if birthdays aren't that place, where would it be . . ?
And if the change is because of new players, then why did the birthday titles exist in the first place?

Thousand Seas Pavilion never seems particularly busy to me, everything is close, and I like that you can get to a lot of maps/regions for free via the fishing portal, to reduce WP costs.
I get tired of the music in Thousand Seas really fast
They should create a juke box for the lounges
I mostly just use that pass for the unique functionality it offers (map portals, fishing vendor, jade bot stuff etc)

I was going to suggest using Arborstone on the basis that it doesn't cost any extra if you have the expansion and it's more spread out which makes it less crowded, but you might have the same problem as the PoF one.
I think Mistlock is so busy because it's one of the more popular ones for a long time it was the only one that let you return to your previous map (except Obsidian Sanctum and that has fewer facilities). Later Armistice Bastion and Thousand Seas came out which have the same function, and now almost all of them do.
I haven't used all of them but the least crowded are likely to be either the ones with bigger maps with services spread across them like Arborstone and the ones that don't have many/any extra features like Noble's Folly and Lava Lounge.Armistice, Thousand Seas and Mistlock are the only one that lets you double click on item to let you return though. That does matter a lot for convenience.

It is odd though
You would think a title is like the cheapest "content" to create
And if it's to please new players that we don't get them anymore, then why did it exist in the first place?

I know it's a payed item, but Thousand Seas pass offer you to portal to many maps. I found it very useful for my last world completion
Kryta: Queensdale, Kessex Hills, Bloodtide Coasdt, Southsun Cove
Ascalon: Plains of Ashford, Diessa Plateau, Fields of Ruin, Iron Marches
Maguuma Jungle: Caledon Forest, Metrica Province, Mount Maelstrom, Sparkfly Fen
Shiverpeaks Mountains: Timberline Falls, Lornar's Pass, Frostgorge Sound, Thunderhead Peaks
Ruins of Orr: Straits of Devastation, Malchor's Leap, Cursed Shore, Siren's Landing
Ring of Fire Islands: Ember Bay, Draconis Mons
That was just Tyria, there's also some Cantha and Elona maps. And like all passes it also has portal to capitol cities and more
Season 3, 4 and icebrood portal tomes for living story maps

I don't know about the other old lounges but airship and the lily of the elon did get updated with an option to return to previous location when you speak with the teleporter.
Yeah, but it's still not as convenient as double clicking the item in the inventory

But having full wardrobe, all infusions, full legendary armory is also fun.
The irony is that I think those who alt accounts there way to everything in the game are usually the ones who quit from boredom when they obtained everything they want
Turns out it's not really about the shiny rewards themselves, but journey towards them

I've been trying to work out the maths behind this claim that you can get 300g - 400g per hour and I don't think it's accurate. There's a lot of sites and posts that say the average value of AA is quite high, but a lot of that is dependant on either keeping it on the same account, or going through methods which are quite time consuming and have a lot of other initial costs.
For example the Build Template and Build Storage expanders are ranked as having quite high 'profit' per AA on the Fast Farming website (compared to the price of converting gems to gold to buy them from the gem store) but you can only do that on the account you want to use them on because there's no way to trade or gift them so they're useless for an alt farming account.
There's also things like the Legendary Weapon Starter Kit which is obviously very valuable: it contains a precursor, the matching Gift and either a Gift of Might or Gift of Magic. But those are all account bound. To turn it into gold you need to make the legendary weapon, so you need to get the Gift of Exploration, Gift of Battle, 250 Spirit Shards, 250 Obsidian Shards, 77 Mystic Clovers, 250 Ectoplasm and a Gift of Might or Magic. That's going to add a lot to the time required, so if we're measuring profit as gold per hour it goes down dramatically.
There's also things like the 4 Vision Crystals which technically can be sold, but only by turning them into Nightfury. That requires 717g of other materials and a Gift of Ascalon (which requires dungeon tokens), knocking your profit when you sell it down from 1,118g to 401g and considerably increasing the time required. Also it's only 1 item, if many people do it (one one person across lots of accounts) it will swamp the TP and crash the price.
Items which can be quickly sold are pretty limited:- 90 gold bought directly (540 AA)
- 60 Mystic Coins (540AA) which sell for 1.19g each or 71.4 in total
- 30 Heavy Crafting Bags (240 AA) sell for 0.57g each or 17g in total
-
150 Laurels (1500 AA) sell for 0.69g each (used to buy light crafting bags) or 103.5g in total
Black Lion Mastery Coffer (300AA) for 1g each or 20g in total - That's 3120 AA for 301.9g - and each account can only do that once every quarter (76 days in the first cycle).
After that you're down to Large Crafting Bags or gold at 30 AA each. Gold is the better of the two, it's worth 0.0333g per AA (3s 33c). Since we're assuming this alt account has SotO to buy Heavy Crafting Bags lets assume they do ALL the achievements in the first cycle and get the total of 14,760 AA. They spent 3120 leaving 11,640 for gold. 11,640 / 30 gives you 388g.
So in 76 days an alt account can transfer 690g to a main account.
Now maybe it's possible to do that within 2 hours total, but it still has to be spread over 76 days. To make a profit from the more valuable items like the legendary starter kit you need to put a lot more time into it and across a wider range of activities (100% world completion for a start) and at that point I think it'd be pretty hard to claim they're just passively farming alt accounts and not really playing.Someone with 100 accounts wouldn't worry too much about the currency cap in the vault though
They can just cycle accounts to keep going
But I highly doubt it will get anywhere near 300-400 g an hour

Gift of Exploratio
Yeah can't imagine doing a world completion on an alt account
I like doing it, but only because it progresses my account at the same time (besides for legendary)

Why? You can just hit once with all of them once and leave them afk, you'll get full credit. I assume it is 6 to 8 because that's how much his PC handle, otherwise even 100 wouldn't be a problem.
100 alt accounts?
There need to be someone to kill the boss too though 😄

It is the combination of average value of AA and how long does it take to get objectives done on alts.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/166c2id/alt_accounts_are_still_the_best_gold_making_in/
A dude who has a lot of alts there shares his gains. His math seems to be correct.
It seems like a lot of effort still
If I were to do it I would stick to like 5 accounts and just do weekly and special objectives on all of them, that way you could still remain sane
But I'm sort of forgetting a fresh account will need a lot of work to do the stuff in the first place
Yeah, it's certainly not as easy as just logging in and out
Edit: oh right, special objectives are like
complete soto story
new friends achievment
ride a leyline with skyscale, requiring the mastery level up
Doing the vista one is the only one that's not too bad, so yeah ...
No way this is a good method either

Yeah. I'm just assuming the guy wants an area that will probably load faster than other maps + have fewer people, and it's very compact. They've also made it so you can return to your prior map, just like you can Mistlock. The only bad part would be no immediate world map access, if that's what he's looking for. 😞
Yeah I use armistice a lot too
But the lack of world map is annoying ;S

Older alt accounts have tomes in them... Lv.80 is only an issue for new alts. Even then you can get easy levels through crafting or stuff.
The point is it translates into 300-400g/h farms. Honestly, why would I farm 10 hours of DF if I can get the same gains in 1 hour doing easy stuff on alts?
Because doing daily on 50 accounts is not fun
I doubt many would be able to keep that up for long
Alt account was very lazy before, it's not anymore
I don't think many would do more than max 5 accounts
They have to actually play the game now
What's the math for 300/400 g an hour?
How many accounts?

Seconding Armistice Bastion. Not a lot of people usually on that map, and it's very compact. Just uncheck Team chat in your chat tab. 😂
Worth mentioning that it doesn't have world map accesss though

I do agree with most of what you said
But I don't think it's worse with the new system though
You need a lvl 80 (so this will kill the farm for new heroic accounts), you do need to actually play the game, even if it's for a short ammount of time. I don't think most people would do more than 5 accounts a day, but I could be wrong.
It's not as bad as just logging in and out on 100 accounts

Not only does Mistlock/Armistice Bastion/Thousand seas have unique features.
They are also the only passes that have double click on the passes to return to your previous position
But the old and new passes with better features are the same price
So in my opinion you should either update them with the "return" feature or lower the price
Currently PvP lobby is more convenient than the old lounges in some ways

“The word "gaslighting" is often used incorrectly to refer to conflicts and disagreements. According to Robin Stern, PhD, co-founder of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, "Gaslighting is often used in an accusatory way when somebody may just be insistent on something, or somebody may be trying to influence you. That's not what gaslighting is.
Some mental health experts have expressed concern that the broader use of the term is diluting its usefulness and may make it more difficult to identify the specific type of abuse described in the original definition.
In a 2022 Washington Post report, it was described as a "trendy buzzword" frequently used to describe ordinary disagreements, rather than those situations that align with the word's historical definition.”
Time to do your research on the word. Maybe you’ll learn something new. Learning is always good!

For Trading Post/Bank/Vendor just go to PvP lobby
It's the logo with 2 swords in the top left corner
When you're done, open the PvP UI again and press leave
That will return you to where you were previously, not just the same map, but the same position
So you won't have to look for these things on the map and worry about getting back and forth
There's premium passes that offer same functionality, but with more vendors/crafting stations etc
This sort of works as a free version of that, with just the essentials

Volatile magic gathering, how good gold farm?
in Players Helping Players
Posted
I've done a bit of this today by following some taco routes, and I find it to be a pretty chill.
I got the volatile magic glyph from the gemstore sale that's going.
How much would you say you can make an hour and any tip on best routes/maps?
I know it's probably no where near what you can earn with other methods, but curious how good/bad it is
